Beschreibung

Allgemeine Beschreibung

MMPs have a common mode of activation, a conserved amino acid sequence in the putative metal-binding active site region and are inhibited by specific tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). These MMPs and TIMPs could be expressed by either the cancer of the stromal cells. There is a co-operation between tumor and stromal cells, in particular for the production of 72-kD type IV collagenase, involved in the disruption of basement membranes. A lack of TIMP-1 expression from invasive cancer cells could also contribute to matrix destruction.

Spezifität

AB19167 recognizes protein at 72 kDa, identified as matrix metalloproteinase 2. MMP-2 is also known as 72 kDa collagenase IV or gelatinase A. It is synthesized as a 631 amino acid proenzyme that is activated by cleavage of the first 80 amino acids. AB19167 shows no cross-reaction with (pro) and active forms of other MMPs. Cytoplasmic localization.

Reactivity with other species has not been confirmed.

Immunogen

A synthetic peptide from the second half of human MMP-2.

Epitope: Whole molecule
